Germany made it to the final game of The Confederations Cup. The World Champions recorded an amazing 4-1 victory against the tough team of Mexico. The captain of Die Mannschaft Julian Draxler was the best player on the pitch, taking part in all the interesting situations in the match.
The Joachim Loew’s men showed they are the better team from the very beginning of the game! The young talent of Schalke 04 – Leon Goretzka took advantage of two fast-paced Germany’s counter attacks and within 2 minutes (from the 6th to the 8th minute) found the Ochoa net twice! Timo Werner missed to score the third of the match in the 18th minute, when he found himself unmarked one on one with the goalkeeper. On the other hand, Javier Hernandez missed the best chance for Mexico during the first half. In the 35th minute, he sent the ball over the bar from about 5 metres. Just 3 minutes later Herrera tried his luck from a free-kick, but his shot was saved by ter Steggen.
7 minutes after the break Werner had another clear goal-scoring opportunity, but he missed the target from a tight angle. Everything in the game was decided in the 59th minute, when Draxler made a beautiful pass in a corridor to find Jonas Hector and the left fullback had no problems make an assist to Werner, who put the ball into the net for 3-0. That was Werner’s 3rd goal for the senior team of Germany in just 5 matches!
Then, Osorio subbed Marco Fabian on for Mexico and the midfielder created some good goal-scoring chances. Firstly, he found some space in the box, but his shot went wide. In the 70th minute Layun made a good attempt towards the goal, but ter Steggen made a good save again. Rafael Marquez, who appeared for the 143rd time with the colours of Mexico, also had the chance to score, but ter Steggen parried away his header shot.
At both ends, Mexico scored a goal. Fabian scored with a beautiful strike from about 30 metres, giving ter Steggen no chance. Eventually, the substitution Amin Younes scored the 4th goal for Germany in the last minute of the game.
With the wonderful performance the Germans are now the favourites for winning the Confederations Cup. Can they beat Chile in the final?
